Unable to unlock my hearts chambers,
I lack the satisfaction of relief.
Yearning for clarity,
I've fallen farther than before-
lacking the mentality to realize so.
Wound within myself,
I miss the energy I've never acquired.
Afraid to fully disect multiple emotions,
It's as if I'm fighting this battle blindly.
Afraid of falling to a new low,
I've wrapped myself in cushions and bubble-wrap.
Perhaps my safety is really my own demise...

I like the ending - it came out of nowhere but is very apt for hte poem, and stops you from dragging on into a lengthy discussion - nicely handled!
thanks for entering

analysing and writing about your pain can only do you good.sometimes its not always easy to show your stuff to others especially when the words are fresh from your soul.this piece shows great promise but for me its just the start of a much longer journey.

Wow, so heartfelt. Simply amazing, it's like as soon as you start reading you just get dragged into in and feel everything. Great job!

there were some very powerful lines that jumped out of the page at me, the poem in itself was very emotional and made me sad for you, but it was the second stanza that really hit home. i truly hope your safety is not your own demise.
